Sure all dirt is dirty, but your plants would tell you there’s a world of difference between plain ol’ dirt and garden soils enhanced with such delicacies as bark fines, peat moss, composted organic matter and combination nutrients…that is, if they could speak directly to you. But if you think about it, they do kinda speak to you in their own language.
If your plants stand high and strong with lots of buds and flowers, they’re telling you that your green thumb is really delivering. If they’re dull, limp and lifeless, then you’re obviously not providing the vital nutrients they need to thrive. If your plants look like they could use a shot of caffeine, start them on a new path with a blended garden soil that will improve root and plant growth.
At The Home Depot, you have three outstanding garden soil brands to choose from that contain everything plants need to liven up your yard with vibrant reds, blues, purples and golds: Miracle-Gro, Scotts and Vigoro, which Home Depot associate Jeff Valenti highlights in this video.
